Christians Attacked During Christmas Celebration

[253] prayers in [12] nations have been posted for Attacked Believers.

As Christians in a rural village gathered to celebrate Christmas beneath a bamboo structure, a group of monks and other villagers began shouting at them and beating them with sticks while pulling down the bamboo poles holding up a tarp. The mob continued to shout abuse and swat the Christians with sticks as they ran from the collapsed structure. According to a VOM worker in the region, the number of attacks on Christians increased dramatically in 2018. Pray for an end to these attacks.

  • Psalm 1
    4 Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff
    that the wind blows away.
    5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
    6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.
